What do you think about this list? Do you agree that those robots make good budget setups? And if you aren't subscribed to the channel, yet ... maybe this is a good time for it? Your Creator, Manni
Allot of times I will set up my hangers with older bots and weapons for fun and they get smashed pretty badly but it's well worth the fun because these robots are some of my favorite.
I would say that if you are going to run a T-Falcon I would try to get your hands on the Harpoon heavy weapons that provide an Aegis shield to put them in the disabled weapon slots. Even though you can't use the Stake weapons they will still provide you with a shield that always regenerates.
Absolutely fantastic video Manni. I don't know how to explain it but this video felt extremely special. The editing, the reasoning all of it were pitch perfect and top notch. You've really outdone yourself here. I whole heatedly say this, AMAZING WORK MANNI!!!!
Funny how I’m a F2P player and have all of what Manni listed but my main team consists of Blitz, Fenre, Harpy, Ravana, and Hades (Hedes recently switched with Orochi). Manni do one for titan but because there’s less titans do it with their budget weapons, I use the old “Noodles” with titan vortex. I stay behind teammates and ruin other players days with that.
Hey Manni, I stopped playing War Robots like a year ago but I just wanted to see how things have been going. You used to be my idle when I was like 10 to 12 in war robots. But the game added to much and I moved on. I’m 14 and I do flips now. Have a great life dude. You’re the man!
Thank you manni i have told my squad members about you so if they need any help or any thing to watch you on you tube that you always have the best advice and robot choices
Don't forget there a current event that make upgrade from level 1mk1 to level 12 mk1 extremely cheaper like from level 11 to 12 is only 20 million for tier 4 weapons so if the event is permanent I'd recommend some tier 4 bots and weapobs

Excellent Video Manni. Great job mentioning map awareness and other things many overlook in-game. Knowing the map as well as where campers are changes match outcomes.
Hel is dirt. Was my first mk3 weapons and they are the beginning of my WR regrets. Everything I upgrade turns into regret. Champ league requires high lvl crap and it’s always turning over milking players
Can't believe this is what WR boiled down to...... Creators have to make a budget video about WR, I still look forward to old WR, things were so simple and exciting at the same time.
Im still running Puncher Ao Jun. Screw the meta and the noobs who pay every month to have an advantage over the others. Use what you enjoy and do not let those losers annoy you
*Totally agreed manni❤ I have 2 ravana myself one with sonic weapons and the other one with blast effect shotgun both with the legendary pilot which gives extra skill*
my "bendy bully" harpy is still one of my best and favorite robots to run, I run it with lvl 6 weapons but the harpy itself (well, kitsune harpy..) is only lvl 5 while the rest of my hanger robots range from 6 - 9 (currently competing in Expert League III ) I never have had the deft survivor ability but run Yang Lee for the shield-break and it kicks butt! I have a Nessa Rigs so I'm going to get a raven (and a falcon) to try those builds out now!
mercury is insane. ive been running it since 2017-18, got lockdown shotguns and an ecu on it, works very well. super fun, destroys stealth bots with ease, can rush enemies with an ecu, super fun.
Manni I am using your pilot it works great with siren it deals a ton of damage with 2 decay and 1 blight it also works with razdor and all. I'm in expert league just heading towards master btw love your videos
Yepp - Hades is also mentioned in the start for that same reason. I think both make great fits there. The short Nemesis cooldown is very interesting to play with, too
@@ManniGaming yes, the variation in each Pantheon bot is very unique. I recently met a player who used a Nemesis and it was a very unique fight. I think Pixonic should buff Hades by giving it defense mitigation and buff Nemesis by increasing its weapon charge modifier and the amount of rockets it fires. Neither of these changes affect the game all that much, but allow players who want to enjoy fun robots to use then more effectively.
I think the fenrir and skyros should be in this list too. Specially the skyros as it's almost impossible to destroy it when it is in its ball mode. Even titans can't do anything as theseus provides immunity against defense mitigation.
Some other very worthy and at least kind of cheap, the Skyros with icerockets, Skyros build in workshop and the time it need could already be enough to win all 3 weapons from black market (common price)… And the Skyros works great with other weapons too and is flexibel from close to midrange with its firepower (old firerockets, sonic and the newer harpoon weapons works great too and there are even more crazy options like homing bullets as fast only midrange setup, works great in lower leagues)… Then the fenrir, more expensive as the falcon but exactly the same kind of tank and with 3 slots it deals a lot more damage… And it’s great on every range, close mid or even long range, the Fenrir does it just all… So more expensive but for the damage boost against the falcon it’s completely worth it… Then the Lancelot, quit the same like the fenrir but not that strong (when the shield is gone you have hopefully a kestrel drone and already enough kills, otherwise your screwed… And the absolutely secret weapon when it comes to cheap and a pretty good tank, the good old Leo… Upgrading to tier 2 is cheap like nothing else and with the right setup this can even today do a lot of damage in the meta… With the 4 weaponslots, a good pilot, drone and the one module it’s already enough to go crazy… Pilots wich will work are nearly any weapon buff pilots, the healing buff pilot (Forgot the name😅) or damage buff pilots, depending on that I would choose the weapons and with that the rest of the setup became pretty clear… Drone is the only thing it highly needs and could be an issue with not spending anything cuz with just one module slot what such must be an nuc amp, it needs anything else from the drone and for that case the best drones are kestrel and shy on obviously reasons… But with that it could be crazy even today and in best case as a tank for close range battle… And when you go cheap you must work with the titan in the team as full teammember, so it’s not just the titan, it’s in best case a tank, beacon keeper and damage dealer… When you go cheap you must plan very well to keep up the damage with more modern setups, in best case your hangar is completely wiped out in the end when you win a match or at least just one bot left with just a slither of health… So the titan must be a fixed part and for cheap there is only one solution with could keep up with modern meta, the Arthur as tank and Brawler… With that style (and I lived it on my babyaccount) you can’t just keep an eye on when the other team take out the titans, you just have not the time for that, when you need a tank and the titan is ready just take the Arthur and try to keep it up as long as you can till your team droppes by… With that you can run your hangar (so the five bots) with only one and a half tank, so that means you can run up to 3 1/2 damage dealer… Best balance for the whole game would then be something like Skyros (beacon runner and no issue to sacrifice), 2 clear damage dealer like hawk, harpy, crisis, seraph, fafnir, typhon (so anything kind of fast and most possible weapon slots), 1 half tank half damage dealer like ravana, kephri, behemoth and 2 heavy tanks like fenrir, falcon, ocho, Arthur, Luch… With something in that direction you could build (in some points even pretty fast) an hangar that could live nearly forever, just changing one or two bots from time to time depending on how the meta changes… So to be honest, with the right knowledge and the right skills bots are no real issue anymore, when you do it right you open a mount at least one super cheats and with all of that options and the more or less minor changes on bot concepts it’s no issue anymore to build a proper hangar botwise… The real issues are now the weapons and that get already completely out of control for free player, even if you manage to get a full weapon set for an bot it’s pretty questionable if you could level that up and keep it… So already kind of tricky… Next step is leveling up, so on bots we have all in all 6 slots, so that mean leveling up 6-10 bots and titans could already be enough to keep up with any meta which will come bot just the 6 bots alone means something around (highly depending on the used bots) 20-30 weapons… And that just for one single hangar setup, so if the meta changes to a more worse part you need in worst case to level up 20-30 new weapons… So even for the hardest grinder (and there was a time I was one of them) it’s not to make anymore, that would take not just any second of your lifetime, no in the game is something like a ad cap, when you have watched a amount of ads for something like leveling up something, you just get no new ads anymore so you can’t fast up the level up process anymore with just playing… But there is a way around that, but that’s even more price to just pay for this same update, you need another device, when you open the same adless account just in another device you have surprisingly again the same amount on ads you had on the device before… And this goes on and on, tried it with my babyaccount on 3 devices, after that the day was over for me after something around 30h of gaming…🙈 This cap renew every 24h so even with this trick you can’t make it over 3 devices, just not enough time on one day…😅 So yeah, I pushed free to play really to the absolutely limits and it’s just not possible to keep up anymore, at least not effectively… So over something around 2-3 years you should mostly have enough weapons leveled up that you can more or less just relay on that but when I say 2-3 years I mean more or less 2-3 years just daily stuff you just must do and war robots, that’s your whole life over that time, no party, no family, no other games, no films, no series, no other games, no hobby’s at all, just you, the game, eat and sleep 2-3 years only… And even if really someone should be stupid enough to do that, it will mostly still not be enough to keep up with really any meta switch like with the switch now with just a single bot with 6 weaponslots… So with that point clear we could now already see pretty clear what will happen next when the game can’t hold free player anymore, even if the player that pay will pay anything they have it can’t rescue the game anymore… With that it’s from now on still nice to talk about the future of the game but then we must at first answer the question how long this future still would be one… Anything I wrote goes for the pre 6 weaponslots Ära, everything what will happen now is not clearly to say cuz of that basic meta change, only one thing is already clear to say, this will change and end this game completely and both depends together… The changes now will be that big and fast, this can’t generate new players anymore, just even more old players will go and there is no possible (it’s just not possible, not important how long you will calculate) solution for this, the game is simply not ready for this it’s just an impossible balancing they try… The new bot is just the meta for anything, beacon runner, damage dealer, tank and even for a titan and will simply snack anything away which cross its way, not really much to do against this… So nice video but in the shadow of what’s coming it’s sadly kind of worthless, like my comment it just goes for the pre 6 slots timeline, any of the shown bots just can’t do anything against this new 6 slots, not important which op setup you take for the bots, it’s just 6 vs in max 4 weapons on a fast and ultra durable bot with pilot, 3 modules and drone slot, nothing in the game can do something against that effectively, even most titans will have just no change, not even close… One of the absolute deadliest setups will become the 600m tarans, this weapons are even in light version just crazy, 6 of them is just unbeatable… With brawler he will do it with range and the weapons are still powerful in close range, with the speed of the bot, the shield and possible Defence there is for real not a single other setup in the game which will easily outplay this setup and that are by far not the only light weapon with those op issues, in the moment we have more light weapons which will produce real issues then those which will not and cuz of that fact it’s simply just not possible to balance this with those balances they used the last 2 or 3 years… So mark my words, this bot is the end of the game, maybe still just the official start of an end but in reality its just nearly impossible to rescue the game from now with that balancing… fire power like behemoth, crisis, erebus, fury and falcon, when not even more but with the speed of an lynx and tankyness like a fenrir or t-falcon (with that just 1 weapon slot) its not just op, this bot is just the game from now and with this not possible balancing it would be there (as only usable bot anymore) for a pretty long time, we didnt just talk about weeks like usually, that will take months, when not even years but I hardly doubt it that game will survive that long anymore…🙈😅
I feel like the mender should also be on the list. With the legendary pilot and good piloting, it becomes the peak of immortality. Demeter also works, but is a lot more costly.
Im using on my main hangar the raven with exactly the same set up,scourge/spark and let me tell you its so strong as long as you use your jumps wisely.especially with the nessa pilots that gives you stealth every time you use your ability+20% more dmg for 8 seconds it became even deadlier.very underrated robot
sYESSSSS!!!! Thank you Manni!! You're my absolute fav RUclipsr for this game. I watch all your videos ;) I love that you always speak the TRUTH and you are so genuine. Love your work bro!! SAVAGE ME BELOW sns Anyways, I HATE THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!! PIXONIC CAN CHOKE ON A BAG OF 8----D I feel like what they are doing is almost illegal at this point hahaha The pay to win has gone absolutely crazy and there's no way you can keep up unless you're spending a TON of money. My older and previously AWESOME bots and weapons are COMPLETELY obsolete. I'm so tired of my MK2 Bots DYIN from a Thor Battleship. Every game is full of at least TWO Ochokochi's and they just run from one side of the map to the other, killing everyone. My MK3 Ardent Behemoth with MK3 Decays AND ALL THE RIGHT DRONES, and PILOT SKILLS are NO MATCH against that bot. I can even shoot him and get up to 95 stacks, and he still wins. you're I still don't have any of the new Titan Modules, or even the weapons, although it would take me a year to actually upgrade them... The new Bots and weapons are way too broken. AND THEY DON'T CARE!!!! THEY KEEP DOING IT TO US!!! GUYS!! STOP GIVING MONEY TO THESE THIEVES!!!!
Great list, I think another great bot that isn’t too expensive to strengthen is the hades, but I’ve been running a falcon since it came out and it’s such a monster!! I don’t run traditionalist on it but two mk2 exoduses for my fang ability and mk2 decay for my main.. leveled up pilot and skills… it’s such a beast ❤
In terms of pówer for spent silver / gold / etc... Nothing can bet a T-falcon. With only 1 single weapon you need for it. Last stand is worthless on it. Maybe Anti Control and that's it.
I like this list and i have half of them. I will craft raven and falcon when i finish my loki. BTW you can use stake in the back of falcon to get extra sheild ta make him more tanky
Manni, try the Shai with 1 Nuclear amplifier and 2 overdrive units combo. I dont get why no one posts about this, especially the large creators. They have access to every item from the game yet they dont descover such great combos
Because Overdrives are dead... Why should I equip a module that only sometimes works for me and forces me to lose HP, take risk or losing weapons to the 35% hp mark and by doing so mess up the whole plan. If they would run always once activated... Awesome! But if they stop running after your robot heals back above the mark. It's nonsense. Too much effort in getting them to work.
@@ManniGaming its not dead. Shai revived it. An maxed nuclear amplifier and 2 overdrives provide around 126% bonus damage. Pair that with pilot skills and boosters and you can amplify that damage even further. Im planning on building an Hawk with an Shai and double overdrive, the robot setup works for me really well and its satisfying draining titan healthbars with the ability, overdrive and nuke amp. Its just spicy Once you'll run it you'll LOVE it trust me. Just play it well and slow at first, build up Nuclear Amp stacks and Shai defense stacks. Im in Champion league, dont you think im recommending this setup for no reason :)
@@ManniGaming I use Phase shift on my Hawk to stop the hp at a point i want to, and recently removed the Mechanic pilot skill so i wouldnt heal any further. In case you'll be attacked by a Scorpion or something else you'll still have your Last stand and also be able to deal insane amounts of damage behind walls (if you're using homming machine guns)
@@ManniGaming I really think they should increase the overdrive triggering threshold 3 overdrives should be active all the time 2 should trigger at 80% health 1 should trigger at 70% They would be pretty broken if they would be active even when healing above the overdrive indicator. Imagine an meta robot with Hiruko who heals over 1 million hp (it is possible) and has overdrive active all the time. I think they can still be pretty good on certain robots, but the threshold should be increased Edit: Or even the damage should be increased and the threshold should be the same, it would be fire if an maxed overdrive provided 50% bonus damage instead of 25%
Honestly I’d say if your unable to get T-falcon and say you have a low level regular falcon, just put On a devestator and 2 stakes even if they are not upgraded I think it’s a pretty fun and effective build
Yeah Hades and Nemesis are still survivable because of that absorber and fast recharge, I run a hades with Brisant Magnetar alongside a mk2 t falcon, decay seraph, atomizer fenrir and sonic ravana as my diamond hangar and its very good in FFA
Glory Weyland is a very good combo but its even better with the kestrel drone to heal grey HP. It makes all your teamates invincible when theyre around you
i have a harpoon mender with kestrel and immune damage repair amps with phase shift it is fully free to play (new card things give out so many harpoons) and is really good since i go fro speed and dodge attacks instead of tanking them important pilot skills are (for me) -added speed with ability -more durability -more speed -shorter active module recharge -longer active module -damage skills
The choice strongly depends if you play war robots on the PC or the phone. This is huge difference. 1. Control on the phone is horrible. You have only 2 thumbs for moving, rotating, firing and using robots or ship ability. You are unable to do it together like on the PC. 2. Aiming is horrible especially against fast and closed enemy. You are unable separately rotate and fire unless you have some additional phone button for fire. 3. On the phone you are unable to fire in sequence which is frustrating against any type of shields. You can loss huge amount of damage. For mobile users auto aim weapons is necessity. For long range weapon heavy single shot gun is also acceptable. My top robot in hangar is Harpy with razdor/smuta and Yang Lee. I can fire from decent distance and I can counter any robots with an energy shield. The second robot is Seraph with Talon. My favorite Mender without claw and jaw weapons is unusable because I'm not able to track fast moving robots around me. Due to low profile I were able to kill slow robots in stealth mode, but now the robots are too fast to track them. Spar/Scourge/Calamity are nice weapons for mobile users, but as I said, against fast moving robots you can easy lost lock on. Therefore I agree to remove lock on from all weapons.
I'm the first, great video Manni, I love use the Raven and the scorch Ara so great but the look on its a pain in the ass… I also love to see pixonic give some love to the dash robots…
I reacently tried a couple of setups with the leech witch is a good budget robot and found that using mace shotguns and nuclear amplifiers is a very good assassin if you play it well you should try it
Thanks for the demo of these great budget setups. I know it took a lot of effort from you to set these up and of course create the videos. I've always believed that if you throw enough money on something then it's bound to shine. That's a no brainer. The challenge is really on how you can make something shine despite having a limited budget. What Manni set up in this episode is a textbook case of what is possible for us mere mortals.
I agree with everything except the 5th choice the Ares with legendary pilot is better than hades and nemesis yes you might say its not budget but you just need the legendary pilot nothing else no pilot skills the legendary pilot skill makes all the difference and many ares pilots were given in events too and also Orochi is also a better choice as a budget in my opinion because it just needs 2 heavy weapons and it doesn’t need a legendary pilot in fact the M brijit pilot makes the orochi significantly weaker in long term battles because of that 1 second stealth reduction because 4 charges of regular orochi lasts 1 second longer than 5 charges of M brijit orochi and in longer terms it becomes even weaker with the M brijit because the stealth charge cool down is still the same so yeah orochi is one of those easier and budget robots to get because of only needing 2 weapons and not being legendary pilot dependent And honourable mention it also has the clever survivor to make it guaranteed to have 4 charges of ability
I won a Lynx, but Im praying that the super-chest grants me something good. My lynx is SUPER powerful, but once I enter gold league, Lynx being THE ONLY GOOD ROBOT in my hanger (my other bots are a strider [yes I won THAT FROM 100 KEY CHEST] Leo and a griffin, is just not going to cut it. If I get ONE GOOD BOT from the Superchest (preferably a robot) Im SET until Dimond league as I can use strider to beacon push, Lynx to hold that beacon, and depending on what bot I get I can change roles. A titan is also SUPER useful, but with no good weapons for it, it will fold pretty fast, and it's easy to get the F2P titan (Arthur) pretty quick.
I am expert league player and i have a falcon but the problem is the memorium. We have to depend on luck to get the tradisionalist and same goes with the raven. I still have a hades with snaer and hel with legendary pilot which gives the retribution weapon/built in weapon 600m range
I unsubscribe from few youtuber, I'm so tired to see only Ochokochi content... tank you Manni! you always bring the fun part of it! I've had the pleasure to fight against you.. what a crazy display of skill.. my most meta bot killed but a raven scourge spark XD you are the best! NUMERO UNO Manni the Man!
thanks i need this, im on mobile, and i barely play the game because i watch ads for keys and by the end of the month i open a superchest, i just won a harpy and a nether this way, you should mention that. this will help so many mobile players.
Manni, I would like to give you an idea for a next video that nobody have thought about that yet. As you are a good "troller" guy 😂😂😂 I would like to challenge you to play with Crisis with the ability "Ghost(Phantom)" activated. Just think about it, you will lose the overpower ability but still has Stealth active and the speed will be higher. It would be a crazy game, I think.😂😂😂

Yeah it is but i don’t think the haiche is that good though
This video is a summery of the RUclips channel I wAs going to start up years ago
Hello manni , I don't have Raven, but I have Nessa Riggs, should I make a Raven? ❤🎉
Allot of times I will set up my hangers with older bots and weapons for fun and they get smashed pretty badly but it's well worth the fun because these robots are some of my favorite.
I wish we could comment with pictures
I would say that if you are going to run a T-Falcon I would try to get your hands on the Harpoon heavy weapons that provide an Aegis shield to put them in the disabled weapon slots. Even though you can't use the Stake weapons they will still provide you with a shield that always regenerates.
Sure thing, Stake would be great. Brisant would be even better since it's newer.
@@ManniGamingbrisant won't be better because it doesn't generate aegis shield. he thinks you can put 2 stakes on deactivated because of aegis
@@stalagmite03 That's a good combination, 2 stakes in the 2 spaces in the back.
Incinerator dread
I used to do the stake (with glory in middle) setup on my T-Falcon until I replaced the falcon with a blitz. Great for gold and silver league!
It's good to know the T-Falcon is still viable. Loved the T-Falcon era.
I wasn't the biggest fan of it (at least shooting at them wasn't as much fun) but I see why it exists

There’s the Manni we all love. Making old bots good with lots of fun. Thank you Sir we appreciate your effort 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them! Thanks 😊
I still have the old Gauss/Volt Hawk in my hangar. It still does pretty good for expert league.
Absolutely fantastic video Manni. I don't know how to explain it but this video felt extremely special. The editing, the reasoning all of it were pitch perfect and top notch. You've really outdone yourself here. I whole heatedly say this, AMAZING WORK MANNI!!!!
I just saw a player use the new energy shotgun with a T falcon and an EMP drone, it was nasty.
Yeah the EMP drone would work well too^^
@@ManniGaminghey manni i wanted to ask would a single redeemer be good on the falcon
Funny how I’m a F2P player and have all of what Manni listed but my main team consists of Blitz, Fenre, Harpy, Ravana, and Hades (Hedes recently switched with Orochi).
Manni do one for titan but because there’s less titans do it with their budget weapons, I use the old “Noodles” with titan vortex. I stay behind teammates and ruin other players days with that.
With the current amount of stealth bypassing abilities in the meta, I'd switch Hades back into your hangar.
Hey Manni, I stopped playing War Robots like a year ago but I just wanted to see how things have been going. You used to be my idle when I was like 10 to 12 in war robots. But the game added to much and I moved on. I’m 14 and I do flips now. Have a great life dude. You’re the man!

@@ManniGaming i think everyone confuses them since they are so similar
thank you for always trying to be creative and supportive, especially taking into consideration that people can't invest too much, but still want to enjoy the game, thank you for your kindness!!!
Excellent Video Manni.
Great job mentioning map awareness and other things many overlook in-game. Knowing the map as well as where campers are changes match outcomes.
It is indeed my friend. Thank you, Sir for noticiing and the great feedback!
@ManniGaming always welcome Manni. You have been being honest with the community and it is greatly appreciated.
Siren with double Hel does pretty good damage, only down side is the reload time
Hel is dirt. Was my first mk3 weapons and they are the beginning of my WR regrets. Everything I upgrade turns into regret. Champ league requires high lvl crap and it’s always turning over milking players
Can't believe this is what WR boiled down to...... Creators have to make a budget video about WR, I still look forward to old WR, things were so simple and exciting at the same time.
Im still running Puncher Ao Jun. Screw the meta and the noobs who pay every month to have an advantage over the others. Use what you enjoy and do not let those losers annoy you
But still i like some of these new robots and weapons
What do you mean" Have to"? I wanted to make this guide. I thought it would help those that aren't able to get the new robots and stuff
*Totally agreed manni❤ I have 2 ravana myself one with sonic weapons and the other one with blast effect shotgun both with the legendary pilot which gives extra skill*
my "bendy bully" harpy is still one of my best and favorite robots to run, I run it with lvl 6 weapons but the harpy itself (well, kitsune harpy..) is only lvl 5 while the rest of my hanger robots range from 6 - 9 (currently competing in Expert League III ) I never have had the deft survivor ability but run Yang Lee for the shield-break and it kicks butt!
I have a Nessa Rigs so I'm going to get a raven (and a falcon) to try those builds out now!
Today I QUIT the WAR ROBOT Permanently. I lost lots of money and time in this game. Now Finally I am happy to QUIT. Good Luck guys
Yea good for you but I still enjoy it and I get you I know the whole game is sketch but I still like it but succes and have a good life

I think this video has changed my perception of power. I need a raven, and I need a t falcon. Thank you for opening my eyes to this topic.
Raven with the legendary pilot, though. Yeah , you're welcome my friend!
Manni I am using your pilot it works great with siren it deals a ton of damage with 2 decay and 1 blight it also works with razdor and all. I'm in expert league just heading towards master btw love your videos
Thanks my friend! For both: You watching and playing with "me" as a pilot hehe
I'd have switched out the Nemesis with the Hades, but it was great to see a Pantheon bot in this list.
Yepp - Hades is also mentioned in the start for that same reason. I think both make great fits there. The short Nemesis cooldown is very interesting to play with, too
@@ManniGaming yes, the variation in each Pantheon bot is very unique. I recently met a player who used a Nemesis and it was a very unique fight. I think Pixonic should buff Hades by giving it defense mitigation and buff Nemesis by increasing its weapon charge modifier and the amount of rockets it fires. Neither of these changes affect the game all that much, but allow players who want to enjoy fun robots to use then more effectively.
Hi Manni, I'm running Ares in my hangar, loving your list also.
I think the fenrir and skyros should be in this list too. Specially the skyros as it's almost impossible to destroy it when it is in its ball mode. Even titans can't do anything as theseus provides immunity against defense mitigation.
Another great video thanks for the budget builds I really enjoyed watching you slay those reds with older setups lol
Glad you enjoyed
Some other very worthy and at least kind of cheap, the Skyros with icerockets, Skyros build in workshop and the time it need could already be enough to win all 3 weapons from black market (common price)…
And the Skyros works great with other weapons too and is flexibel from close to midrange with its firepower (old firerockets, sonic and the newer harpoon weapons works great too and there are even more crazy options like homing bullets as fast only midrange setup, works great in lower leagues)…
Then the fenrir, more expensive as the falcon but exactly the same kind of tank and with 3 slots it deals a lot more damage…
And it’s great on every range, close mid or even long range, the Fenrir does it just all…
So more expensive but for the damage boost against the falcon it’s completely worth it…
Then the Lancelot, quit the same like the fenrir but not that strong (when the shield is gone you have hopefully a kestrel drone and already enough kills, otherwise your screwed…
And the absolutely secret weapon when it comes to cheap and a pretty good tank, the good old Leo…
Upgrading to tier 2 is cheap like nothing else and with the right setup this can even today do a lot of damage in the meta…
With the 4 weaponslots, a good pilot, drone and the one module it’s already enough to go crazy…
Pilots wich will work are nearly any weapon buff pilots, the healing buff pilot (Forgot the name😅) or damage buff pilots, depending on that I would choose the weapons and with that the rest of the setup became pretty clear…
Drone is the only thing it highly needs and could be an issue with not spending anything cuz with just one module slot what such must be an nuc amp, it needs anything else from the drone and for that case the best drones are kestrel and shy on obviously reasons…
But with that it could be crazy even today and in best case as a tank for close range battle…
And when you go cheap you must work with the titan in the team as full teammember, so it’s not just the titan, it’s in best case a tank, beacon keeper and damage dealer…
When you go cheap you must plan very well to keep up the damage with more modern setups, in best case your hangar is completely wiped out in the end when you win a match or at least just one bot left with just a slither of health…
So the titan must be a fixed part and for cheap there is only one solution with could keep up with modern meta, the Arthur as tank and Brawler…
With that style (and I lived it on my babyaccount) you can’t just keep an eye on when the other team take out the titans, you just have not the time for that, when you need a tank and the titan is ready just take the Arthur and try to keep it up as long as you can till your team droppes by…
With that you can run your hangar (so the five bots) with only one and a half tank, so that means you can run up to 3 1/2 damage dealer…
Best balance for the whole game would then be something like Skyros (beacon runner and no issue to sacrifice), 2 clear damage dealer like hawk, harpy, crisis, seraph, fafnir, typhon (so anything kind of fast and most possible weapon slots), 1 half tank half damage dealer like ravana, kephri, behemoth and 2 heavy tanks like fenrir, falcon, ocho, Arthur, Luch…
With something in that direction you could build (in some points even pretty fast) an hangar that could live nearly forever, just changing one or two bots from time to time depending on how the meta changes…
So to be honest, with the right knowledge and the right skills bots are no real issue anymore, when you do it right you open a mount at least one super cheats and with all of that options and the more or less minor changes on bot concepts it’s no issue anymore to build a proper hangar botwise…
The real issues are now the weapons and that get already completely out of control for free player, even if you manage to get a full weapon set for an bot it’s pretty questionable if you could level that up and keep it…
So already kind of tricky…
Next step is leveling up, so on bots we have all in all 6 slots, so that mean leveling up 6-10 bots and titans could already be enough to keep up with any meta which will come bot just the 6 bots alone means something around (highly depending on the used bots) 20-30 weapons…
And that just for one single hangar setup, so if the meta changes to a more worse part you need in worst case to level up 20-30 new weapons…
So even for the hardest grinder (and there was a time I was one of them) it’s not to make anymore, that would take not just any second of your lifetime, no in the game is something like a ad cap, when you have watched a amount of ads for something like leveling up something, you just get no new ads anymore so you can’t fast up the level up process anymore with just playing…
But there is a way around that, but that’s even more price to just pay for this same update, you need another device, when you open the same adless account just in another device you have surprisingly again the same amount on ads you had on the device before…
And this goes on and on, tried it with my babyaccount on 3 devices, after that the day was over for me after something around 30h of gaming…🙈
This cap renew every 24h so even with this trick you can’t make it over 3 devices, just not enough time on one day…😅
So yeah, I pushed free to play really to the absolutely limits and it’s just not possible to keep up anymore, at least not effectively…
So over something around 2-3 years you should mostly have enough weapons leveled up that you can more or less just relay on that but when I say 2-3 years I mean more or less 2-3 years just daily stuff you just must do and war robots, that’s your whole life over that time, no party, no family, no other games, no films, no series, no other games, no hobby’s at all, just you, the game, eat and sleep 2-3 years only…
And even if really someone should be stupid enough to do that, it will mostly still not be enough to keep up with really any meta switch like with the switch now with just a single bot with 6 weaponslots…
So with that point clear we could now already see pretty clear what will happen next when the game can’t hold free player anymore, even if the player that pay will pay anything they have it can’t rescue the game anymore…
With that it’s from now on still nice to talk about the future of the game but then we must at first answer the question how long this future still would be one…
Anything I wrote goes for the pre 6 weaponslots Ära, everything what will happen now is not clearly to say cuz of that basic meta change, only one thing is already clear to say, this will change and end this game completely and both depends together…
The changes now will be that big and fast, this can’t generate new players anymore, just even more old players will go and there is no possible (it’s just not possible, not important how long you will calculate) solution for this, the game is simply not ready for this it’s just an impossible balancing they try…
The new bot is just the meta for anything, beacon runner, damage dealer, tank and even for a titan and will simply snack anything away which cross its way, not really much to do against this…
So nice video but in the shadow of what’s coming it’s sadly kind of worthless, like my comment it just goes for the pre 6 slots timeline, any of the shown bots just can’t do anything against this new 6 slots, not important which op setup you take for the bots, it’s just 6 vs in max 4 weapons on a fast and ultra durable bot with pilot, 3 modules and drone slot, nothing in the game can do something against that effectively, even most titans will have just no change, not even close…
One of the absolute deadliest setups will become the 600m tarans, this weapons are even in light version just crazy, 6 of them is just unbeatable…
With brawler he will do it with range and the weapons are still powerful in close range, with the speed of the bot, the shield and possible Defence there is for real not a single other setup in the game which will easily outplay this setup and that are by far not the only light weapon with those op issues, in the moment we have more light weapons which will produce real issues then those which will not and cuz of that fact it’s simply just not possible to balance this with those balances they used the last 2 or 3 years…
So mark my words, this bot is the end of the game, maybe still just the official start of an end but in reality its just nearly impossible to rescue the game from now with that balancing…
fire power like behemoth, crisis, erebus, fury and falcon, when not even more but with the speed of an lynx and tankyness like a fenrir or t-falcon (with that just 1 weapon slot) its not just op, this bot is just the game from now and with this not possible balancing it would be there (as only usable bot anymore) for a pretty long time, we didnt just talk about weeks like usually, that will take months, when not even years but I hardly doubt it that game will survive that long anymore…🙈😅
phase works well when Newton bot handles you making Newton to loose target on you and drops you. (Legion)
Let's not forget about the phantom.
🤣 yeah, why not a Cossack too
I feel like the mender should also be on the list. With the legendary pilot and good piloting, it becomes the peak of immortality. Demeter also works, but is a lot more costly.
Thanks Manni for yet another informative and entertaining video!
My pleasure!
I love it i am also considering making a ravana as my next robot on my f2p account
@ManniGaming , And this is the content we want, we don't need to constantly buy and spend a fortune on the game. Thanks
My pleasure man!
I love the ravana so much i have one my own at level 11 with havoc its a beast when it comes to killing the ochokochi
this video help me A LOT!!!! as a antimeta player , love your content Manni
Thank you, my friend! I am glad to hear that!
Shredder hades is a beast even in master league
t-falcon again, it never fails to deliver 🤣
indeed^^
Thanks for your content man. I can't leave this game thanks to you. I keep coming back.
Holy moly I used to watch you 5 years ago and you still upload consistanly
Great list and video Thanks Manni!
Im using on my main hangar the raven with exactly the same set up,scourge/spark and let me tell you its so strong as long as you use your jumps wisely.especially with the nessa pilots that gives you stealth every time you use your ability+20% more dmg for 8 seconds it became even deadlier.very underrated robot
The Hades is to this day still my absolute favourite robot!
It's a great bot, yeah! I like it a lot, too.
sYESSSSS!!!! Thank you Manni!!
You're my absolute fav RUclipsr for this game. I watch all your videos ;) I love that you always speak the TRUTH and you are so genuine. Love your work bro!!
SAVAGE ME BELOW sns
Anyways, I HATE THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!! PIXONIC CAN CHOKE ON A BAG OF 8----D
I feel like what they are doing is almost illegal at this point hahaha
The pay to win has gone absolutely crazy and there's no way you can keep up unless you're spending a TON of money. My older and previously AWESOME bots and weapons are COMPLETELY obsolete.
I'm so tired of my MK2 Bots DYIN from a Thor Battleship.
Every game is full of at least TWO Ochokochi's and they just run from one side of the map to the other, killing everyone.
My MK3 Ardent Behemoth with MK3 Decays AND ALL THE RIGHT DRONES, and PILOT SKILLS are NO MATCH against that bot. I can even shoot him and get up to 95 stacks, and he still wins.
you're
I still don't have any of the new Titan Modules, or even the weapons, although it would take me a year to actually upgrade them...
The new Bots and weapons are way too broken.
AND THEY DON'T CARE!!!!
THEY KEEP DOING IT TO US!!!
GUYS!! STOP GIVING MONEY TO THESE THIEVES!!!!
Great list, I think another great bot that isn’t too expensive to strengthen is the hades, but I’ve been running a falcon since it came out and it’s such a monster!! I don’t run traditionalist on it but two mk2 exoduses for my fang ability and mk2 decay for my main.. leveled up pilot and skills… it’s such a beast ❤
great list my list soon thx for the info
Remember the nuke a rook serie ?
We need now a bust an okie dokie serie were u use setups to kill ochokochi like ravana havoc for example
Hehe hm, i thouhgt about it, too
I just got a raven, got lucky with getting nessa Riggs and I managed to get the last stand drone! Gonna be the best beacon capper ever
Robot idea. A robot with decent health and a built in vortex launcher : 3 charges, 7 second recharge and 2 small and 2 medium
i did not expect the falcon to be number 1 i honesty thought I'd see the fenrir in number 1
In terms of pówer for spent silver / gold / etc... Nothing can bet a T-falcon. With only 1 single weapon you need for it. Last stand is worthless on it. Maybe Anti Control and that's it.
I like this list and i have half of them. I will craft raven and falcon when i finish my loki.
BTW you can use stake in the back of falcon to get extra sheild ta make him more tanky
Manni, try the Shai with 1 Nuclear amplifier and 2 overdrive units combo. I dont get why no one posts about this, especially the large creators. They have access to every item from the game yet they dont descover such great combos
Because Overdrives are dead... Why should I equip a module that only sometimes works for me and forces me to lose HP, take risk or losing weapons to the 35% hp mark and by doing so mess up the whole plan. If they would run always once activated... Awesome! But if they stop running after your robot heals back above the mark. It's nonsense. Too much effort in getting them to work.
@@ManniGaming its not dead. Shai revived it. An maxed nuclear amplifier and 2 overdrives provide around 126% bonus damage. Pair that with pilot skills and boosters and you can amplify that damage even further. Im planning on building an Hawk with an Shai and double overdrive, the robot setup works for me really well and its satisfying draining titan healthbars with the ability, overdrive and nuke amp. Its just spicy
Once you'll run it you'll LOVE it trust me. Just play it well and slow at first, build up Nuclear Amp stacks and Shai defense stacks. Im in Champion league, dont you think im recommending this setup for no reason :)
@@ManniGaming I use Phase shift on my Hawk to stop the hp at a point i want to, and recently removed the Mechanic pilot skill so i wouldnt heal any further.
In case you'll be attacked by a Scorpion or something else you'll still have your Last stand and also be able to deal insane amounts of damage behind walls (if you're using homming machine guns)
@@ManniGaming I really think they should increase the overdrive triggering threshold
3 overdrives should be active all the time
2 should trigger at 80% health
1 should trigger at 70%
They would be pretty broken if they would be active even when healing above the overdrive indicator. Imagine an meta robot with Hiruko who heals over 1 million hp (it is possible) and has overdrive active all the time. I think they can still be pretty good on certain robots, but the threshold should be increased
Edit: Or even the damage should be increased and the threshold should be the same, it would be fire if an maxed overdrive provided 50% bonus damage instead of 25%
Honestly I’d say if your unable to get T-falcon and say you have a low level regular falcon, just put On a devestator and 2 stakes even if they are not upgraded I think it’s a pretty fun and effective build
Yeah Hades and Nemesis are still survivable because of that absorber and fast recharge, I run a hades with Brisant Magnetar alongside a mk2 t falcon, decay seraph, atomizer fenrir and sonic ravana as my diamond hangar and its very good in FFA
Great content. Love the video. Will devote a hanger for this bot set.
Have fun! Thx bud 😊
That ochokochi at the last running away lol
Thank you manni. I will have to revisit the raven. I have noticed them being played more often.
The harperian siren Still good, too Anna always couldn't get to the attachments the first time this game premiered
I used to watch your war robots video and i really like gameplay of these game more then playing on my own cause its not currently playble
Thanks man! Yeah - the updates recently have messed up a few things
Well done. GREAT vid Manni !
Wow Manni....I remember you from Vega Conflict days didn't know you were still content creator. To bad you never came over to CoC where I've ended up
I might just pull out my Ravanna now😅
Manni pulling up to a battle with the old Nemesis and overpowered insta kill shotguns 😂. Nice video Manni
Glory Weyland is a very good combo but its even better with the kestrel drone to heal grey HP. It makes all your teamates invincible when theyre around you
Nucleon Weyland is good too
i have a harpoon mender with kestrel and immune damage repair amps with phase shift it is fully free to play (new card things give out so many harpoons) and is really good since i go fro speed and dodge attacks instead of tanking them
important pilot skills are (for me)
-added speed with ability
-more durability
-more speed
-shorter active module recharge
-longer active module
-damage skills
daamn that Ravanna game play😮🔥
Hehe thx bro^^
Falcon is faster than most tanks which makes it perform a bit better than orher tanks
harpy might hard counter dagon and the ultimate fujin with the yang lee pilot.
Yepp - I thought so, too
The choice strongly depends if you play war robots on the PC or the phone. This is huge difference.
1. Control on the phone is horrible. You have only 2 thumbs for moving, rotating, firing and using robots or ship ability. You are unable to do it together like on the PC.
2. Aiming is horrible especially against fast and closed enemy. You are unable separately rotate and fire unless you have some additional phone button for fire.
3. On the phone you are unable to fire in sequence which is frustrating against any type of shields. You can loss huge amount of damage.
For mobile users auto aim weapons is necessity. For long range weapon heavy single shot gun is also acceptable. My top robot in hangar is Harpy with razdor/smuta and Yang Lee. I can fire from decent distance and I can counter any robots with an energy shield. The second robot is Seraph with Talon. My favorite Mender without claw and jaw weapons is unusable because I'm not able to track fast moving robots around me. Due to low profile I were able to kill slow robots in stealth mode, but now the robots are too fast to track them.
Spar/Scourge/Calamity are nice weapons for mobile users, but as I said, against fast moving robots you can easy lost lock on. Therefore I agree to remove lock on from all weapons.
Really cool builds! If I have the resources, I’ll try them out myself! Thanks again, Manni!
I'm the first, great video Manni, I love use the Raven and the scorch Ara so great but the look on its a pain in the ass… I also love to see pixonic give some love to the dash robots…
I reacently tried a couple of setups with the leech witch is a good budget robot and found that using mace shotguns and nuclear amplifiers is a very good assassin if you play it well you should try it
I’m on a really tight budget RN
How much?
i have about 300k silver /: and trying to level up my hawk to lvl 8 @@Lajindon
I’m really tight rn too
@@potato_glitch_303💀💀💀
I js started the game a few weeks ago and I’m already maxed out with 150 25 newton/tonans/tonjas
Incredible the way the falcon has stood the test of time if robots could get metals falcon would get one for sure
Manni, i've 6 Ravanas in my Hangars, it's freaking good!
keep up the good insight info, keep up the good work bud. is there any vids re brawlers 300m-600m ranges with best agility and durability.
I think that fenrir with its legendary pilot is still a super good tank
The santa pilot is strong too.
Good content, thanks Manni!
Thanks for the demo of these great budget setups. I know it took a lot of effort from you to set these up and of course create the videos. I've always believed that if you throw enough money on something then it's bound to shine. That's a no brainer. The challenge is really on how you can make something shine despite having a limited budget. What Manni set up in this episode is a textbook case of what is possible for us mere mortals.
I love this top 5 videos manni! thanks for your content!
A real good idea: try budget setups on level 8 or 10 mk1 that will be a much better perspective
Hey manni, I really like the Tyr robot with pulsar/magnetar. Defenitely a build to try out
I agree with everything except the 5th choice the Ares with legendary pilot is better than hades and nemesis yes you might say its not budget but you just need the legendary pilot nothing else no pilot skills the legendary pilot skill makes all the difference and many ares pilots were given in events too and also
Orochi is also a better choice as a budget in my opinion because it just needs 2 heavy weapons and it doesn’t need a legendary pilot in fact the M brijit pilot makes the orochi significantly weaker in long term battles because of that 1 second stealth reduction because 4 charges of regular orochi lasts 1 second longer than 5 charges of M brijit orochi
and in longer terms it becomes even weaker with the M brijit because the stealth charge cool down is still the same so yeah orochi is one of those easier and budget robots to get because of only needing 2 weapons and not being legendary pilot dependent
And honourable mention it also has the clever survivor to make it guaranteed to have 4 charges of ability
Manni: the raven does 20-25% more damage when it jumps
Ultimate Specter: And I get over 50%!
Yeah, The Falcon rules the battlefield
Didn't expect the raven to be on the list
Great vid, thanks. I do want a raven at some point!
Quick tip you xan use 2 stakes for extra free shealds and considuring the fact that they are so ez to get rn you can do it better
I won a Lynx, but Im praying that the super-chest grants me something good. My lynx is SUPER powerful, but once I enter gold league, Lynx being THE ONLY GOOD ROBOT in my hanger (my other bots are a strider [yes I won THAT FROM 100 KEY CHEST] Leo and a griffin, is just not going to cut it. If I get ONE GOOD BOT from the Superchest (preferably a robot) Im SET until Dimond league as I can use strider to beacon push, Lynx to hold that beacon, and depending on what bot I get I can change roles. A titan is also SUPER useful, but with no good weapons for it, it will fold pretty fast, and it's easy to get the F2P titan (Arthur) pretty quick.
I am expert league player and i have a falcon but the problem is the memorium. We have to depend on luck to get the tradisionalist and same goes with the raven. I still have a hades with snaer and hel with legendary pilot which gives the retribution weapon/built in weapon 600m range
I think I'll change the either the Raven or the Nemesis to the Mender (with legendary pilot that's for sure)
I unsubscribe from few youtuber, I'm so tired to see only Ochokochi content... tank you Manni! you always bring the fun part of it!
I've had the pleasure to fight against you.. what a crazy display of skill.. my most meta bot killed but a raven scourge spark XD you are the best!
NUMERO UNO Manni the Man!
Hehe thank you so much my friend! Appreciate endlessly! :-)
thanks i need this, im on mobile, and i barely play the game because i watch ads for keys and by the end of the month i open a superchest, i just won a harpy and a nether this way, you should mention that. this will help so many mobile players.
I just love this kind of videos!!!😁😁👍
Thank you... Weapons next if you have time
That may be a little more difficult but let's see.
Manni, I would like to give you an idea for a next video that nobody have thought about that yet. As you are a good "troller" guy 😂😂😂 I would like to challenge you to play with Crisis with the ability "Ghost(Phantom)" activated. Just think about it, you will lose the overpower ability but still has Stealth active and the speed will be higher. It would be a crazy game, I think.😂😂😂
Awesome builds 😃
This video is going to help my f2p hanger thanks manni ☺️👍
I also run 2 raven's in my hanger still it's a beast!!!! Even though I have the new bots!
You should mention the mender with marie leclair pilot. That thing is unkillable
True. Should also be in the list. Dang 🫨
